I had both those air rifles.

15 yo - just arrived from Ireland where airguns were rare and on FAC.

Imagine my excitement when I stepped into a gunshop and saw the ASI !

Then imagine my excitement when told no licence was required shakeshout

As I threw my cash at the dealer, he said "You are over 18 arnt you ?"

"Oh yes" says I................

Ahh happy days indeed - when you could up the local woods and plink away all day with an orange or green can of Webley pellets and NO ONE came along all tooled up in a load of cars and a helicopter to stop you...
